I agree with the article's opinion that people are generally too dumb to make democracy work effectively. It's true, people's mind is easily swayed very easily and often time on information that isn't from a reliable source. People care about the wrong things. We are all going to be naturally different from each other, but stupid is just plain stupid. I blame it on our public education system. It's too easy and doesn't teach us the necessary things in life like problem solving, critical thinking, money management, etc...

I have worked in retail for 6 years and deal with lots of people everyday. And most of them are very stupid.
